you’re not supposed to write a full essay for the EC one, just highlight what it is, what you’re involvement was, and show a little passion for it. i’ve heard 500 words is ideal for the perosnal essay, definetly no more than a page. if yours is longer than that, it’s a sign that you are not being specific enough. longer than a page and no one will want to read it. there’s a recent thread on length in the college admissions forum you may want to check out.
good luck!
